Johnny07 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have been spending far too much time looking at the lastest constuction pictures and noticed that there are a couple of footers placed to the left hand side of the entrance. Alas. I'm wondering if this is for some theming which is yet to come - eg. An alternative to the wind turbine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I like the spiral staircase, as seen in this picture: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Does anyone think this will become Thorpe Park's signature Rollercoaster? or will it still stay as stealth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Stealth is the signature/icon coaster because its so tall. It's basically a landmark for Thorpe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Rush Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thorpe park's signature ride is Stealth?I thaught it would either be Inferno or Collossis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Right, you know the police car, I'm sure I have seen one just like this under the entrance bridge, Right near were port Atlantis is, If you pop your head over the left handside most of the time there is a car there in the 2008 season it was a fire car could this be the same one but re-painted?

James Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 No.A ) That was a Fire brigade car, not Police.B ) It's in storage at the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just got back from the park today and noticed that the queline fences have barbed wire along the top. I would like to see chavs try que jumping that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Have people noticed that there is a square shaped ditch near the Colossus queueline on the SAW Site, its near the bridge that they have built...I am pretty sure that the ditch thingy is going to be a Billboard sign thingy as I have noticed that on the planning permission in the same place there is an arrow pointing to a drawing labelled "Sign"....I think the sign will be a billboard advertising the ride.P.S I zoomed in on a pic that I took of the new sign and most of it was blurred but I could read this "You must be a minimum of 1.4 To play the game" Sounding Good!!

Sidders Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think the brabed wire is a very good idea, its gives out a menacing appearance, and stop chavs queue-jumping. Everyone be happy. And the queueline looks like a very tall maze of cages - very SAW-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Does anyone have any idea of how many people are expected to turn up, just a rough guess. Also what are the likely que times (1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Have to agree with you there it looks amazing and the barbed wire will give that extra scary touch Does anyone have any idea of how many people are expected to turn up, just a rough guess. Also what are the likely que times (1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours etc.)When on the opening day? probaly 1hour mabye more, Stealth was about 30mins or so but that was on a school day and with SAW many people are wondering whats going to be inside where as with Stealth you could see what was going to happen if that makes sense.

alexandercameron Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Live actors are going to be featured in this ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Coaster Man Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Live actors are going to be featured in this ride. Now where did that idea come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandercameron Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Now where did that idea come from? The small sign beside the test seat says so I'd check out the Coasterforce and Southparks forums, where they're currently getting all excited over it. Well not exactly getting excited, I swear everyone who is a member of Coasterforce just loves to criticize Thorpe Park and everything it does.

Sheepie Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Oh my actual God!This has got me well anxious now. I love the puns on the board.... 'No smoking, those things will kill ya.' Awesome! Such amazing attention to detail here. I'm actually sqealing! And I believe the sign about the actors says... "please be aware that there will be live actors in the queueline today. Anyone found physically or verbally abusing the actors may be escorted from the park."Ahhh I'm so stoked for this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 How the hell are you lot all able to read what this sign says? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Go look at some of the pics, save them, and then zoom in a bit. Squint and a touch of guess work, then you can read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyH Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The sign includes the word 'today', so weather they will be permanent or just temporary for the ride opening or in busy periods, I am not sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny07 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Peak times I would say. If actors are being reintroduced into the park - maybe one will be popped into the stealth DJ booth? I'm doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPBecca Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Exciting :PI was listening in to a conversation with a ride attendant when I went and he said that on the first bit of the ride (the indoor bit) you play a game.Anyone know what there might be? I'm so excited now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyciodes Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Oh wow those signs do look sexy :PI am also for the first time quite excited about this, the themeing/experience part anyway, not so bothered about the actual coaster.
